Ingredients
1 Lemon
1 cup White sugar
1 Egg
1 Coconut cream-400ml can light , well shaken
90 gram Butter-roughly chopped
2.5 cups Self raising Flour
Directions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees (180 for fan forced) then spray a 12 hole muffin tin well with cooking spray.
- Finely grate lemon rind to produce 1 tablespoon of zest. Juice the lemon to produce 1/4 cup of juice and set aside.
- Combine SR flour & chopped butter in a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs then transfer to large bowl.
- Add white sugar and the lemon zest to a separate bowl and stir to combine, then add to the large bowl with butter and SR flour.
- Add the egg & coconut cream.
- Stir until just combined — then add the lemon juice.. proceed to stir until combined.
- Divide mixture between the 12 holes of the muffin tin.
- Bake for 20 mins, or until just firm to the touch. Note that the addition of coconut cream the muffins will look quite light in colour but will still be cooked!
Notes
- Coconut Cream and Lemon Muffins are suitable to freeze for up to one month.
- Remove from oven & stand for 10 mins before turning muffins out onto wire rack to cool.

So when do you add the flour and butter mixture???
Sorry, I missed that step – the recipe has been amended!
Hi, can’t see where you amended the recipe for adding back in the flour and butter mix.
Sorry Tes, all fixed now!
Also, what size tin of coconut cream please? There were three different sizes at the supermarket today!
Just a large can – somewhere around the 400ml mark I think!
